Molecular Aspects of Parasite-Vector and Vector-Host Interactions in Leishmaniasis
Abstract
▪ Abstract Leishmania-sand fly interactions are reviewed in the context of the potential barriers to the complete development of the parasite that exist within the midgut environment of phlebotomine flies and the molecular adaptations that the parasite has evolved that permit the development of transmissible infections to proceed. Cell surface and secreted phosphoglycans protect the parasite from the proteolytic activities of the blood-fed midgut, mediate attachment to the gut wall in order to maintain infection during excretion of the bloodmeal, and contribute to the formation of a biological plug in the anterior gut that may promote transmission by bite. The importance of vector saliva in modulating the host response to transmitted parasites is also reviewed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
